SL vs IND 3rd T20I: Possible Playing 11 of India

IND Playing 11: India will take on Sri Lanka in the final match of the tour here at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. The visitors have been severely affected by Covid-19 as Krunal Pandya and 8 other players are in isolation and are unavailable. They fought valiantly in the second T20I but the bowlers’ effort went in vain as SL chased down the target in the last over. With limited batsmen available, India have a tough task in hand against the home side. India currently leads the head-to-head record over Sri Lanka in T20Is 14-6.

With most players missing and India struggling to put up their playing 11, this final match is going to be tough for the visitors. But it gives a great opportunity to players like Padikkal and Gaikwad to make their mark ahead of T20 World Cup. Time is also running out for Sanju Samson. A long tail means that India are unlikely to take much risks early on. Bowling looks impressive and has plenty of options. Spinners’ performance was a big positive from the last match.
